St. Patrick’s Day in Vallarta-Nayarit is a Festive Adult Affair

Join us as Vallarta-Nayarit celebrates the Irish in all of us on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), from Murphy’s Pub on the Malecon & Los Muertos Brewery in Old Town to a week of lively Mexican festivities in the pueblo of San Patricio, 4 hours south.

Everyone’s Irish this St. Patrick’s Day in Vallarta-Nayarit

Did you know that St. Patty’s Day is actually a bigger party in North America than anywhere in Ireland? Stemming from the Irish immigrant population in New York City, Boston, and Chicago of the mid-1800s, the March 17th holiday has become not only a celebration of Irish culture and community, but a statement of solidarity with all people who endure hardships for the betterment of their families. That said, let’s be honest – it’s also a great excuse to chase Irish whiskey with green beer, while fattening up on corned beef and cabbage. Where to find such delights for a proper St. Patrick’s Day in Banderas Bay? Here are a few local favorites:
